Description

WISHING ALL MY BETTERPHOTO FRIENDS AND STAFF A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR FULL OF GOD'S BLESSINGS!!!

I don't do a lot of photography at night as I feel it is not safe.
This Christmas image is from 2012 & it was raining so I had to hold an umbrella over my camera and myself, in 7km winds, using my glove on a low lamp post as a tripod. So I'm very happy with the results.
